@SixtAT has made picking up a rental car that was reserved 5 months ago an absolute miserable experience. We’ve missed a full day of vacation dealing with agents, closed branches and key boxes that don’t work. Still no car. Having to rearrange plans on the fly.

@OneRepublic Looking forward to hearing this one @BurgClam 😁

Short Films are required to be under 20 minutes or in some cases under 15 minutes

This film is 3 minutes 53 seconds & still won the Oscar

If you don’t watch this film you’re doing yourself an injustice

If you don’t spread this film you’re doing everyone else an injustice

Understanding UV Index is key to staying safe in the sun. UV levels indicate the intensity of harmful rays and potential risk.☀️

If you're working outside, remember to always stay hydrated and protected with sunscreen, hats, and shade.

Did you know that as of July 1st, 2023, Nova Scotian employers are no longer able to request a sick note unless an employee is absent for more than five working days, or has already had two absences of five or fewer working days in the previous 12-month period?

The municipality is aware of the ‘Million March 4 Children’ event planned for Sept 20 at City Hall. While we recognize that people have a right to protest, we want to make it clear that we fully support our 2SLGBTQIA+ community members. All are welcome here.

[Tim Houston @TimHoustonNS]

No matter who you are, who you love, or how you identify, Nova Scotians deserve to live without fear and intimidation. Our government supports the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and growing safe and inclusive communities across our province.
